I got Botox and sculptra almost 2 years ago. Then got another vial this year in January in the temples and cheeks. The doctor, I know injected more on the right side. My face has changed so much. I dont look or feel like myself. I am not sure how or if my face can even be fixed or who I can go to. Now, Im scare to get anything else in face. Face looks loop side. Also something is happening to my eye. Already checked and MRI shows no thyroid issue.
I had Sculptra 20 months ago. I got every side effect (except granulomas) and still having inflammation. I know they say the volume last 2 years but what about the side effects? I read Sculptra actually stays in your skin/body for 3 to 7 years (not the volume). What is the real truth and what can I expect?
I am young and had 2vials of Sculptra at the age of 27 and 28. My last vial was 21 months ago. I want to know when the collagen will stop growing. Some Drs say it stops at 6 or 10 months and definitely should have stopped at 20. However I have photographs and ultrasound scans that shows my skin thickness is still growing - the 1st scans from 15months ago and the second from 20 months ago. I am so upset and my face is huge. When will it stop growing? Is there anything I can do to stop the process?
I have been receiving regular sculptura treatments for 2.5 years (12 vials) with no results. I have been to three different doctors for treatment, and they can't figure out why it doesn't take. Does it not work on some people? I have a very thin face. Results show for a couple of days and then nothing. I also don't respond to fillers such as juvedeem and restalyne. What else can I try? I did try bellafill on my marionette lines, but it migrated beside the lime making the wrinkle look deeper. Any ideas?
I went to a board certified dermatologist and had a half vial of sculptra injected. My face has been slightly tender and swollen since with large hardened lymph nodes. What can I do and who should I see?
I'm 26 & I got 2 sculptra treatments 2 years ago. My face is the roundest it's ever been, as if the sculptra is peaking now. It's not weight gain. I was 109 ibs, 5'4 pre-sculptra & I'm now 100 ibs. I've always been underweight with chiseled features. Im confused as to why my face is STILL SO FULL. Dr.'s say sculptra goes away in 2 years, how is this logically possible, if it's my own collagen now? Wouldn't it break down at the same rate as my regular collegan? What makes this collagen different?
I was a model for a Sculptra demo. Board cert MD w/ yrs of exp. He wanted to inject under my eyes, I hesitated & asked, is it OK since it is not indicated for use there? He reassured me he had done this many times w/ good results. He placed it deep along orbital bone. 22 mos later I still have residual swelling. He tried injecting hyaluronidase - no better. He tried cortisone/FU-5, a small improvment. He says 2 more treatments should do it. Will thermage or fractional laser help? Any ideas?
I had most of my sculptra inject about 2-3 years ago. I had facial wasting after a rhinoplasty and endoscopic brow lift. But, my face continues to grow. I hate it, my face is way too fat. I wish I never had sculptra. I had thermage once about a month and a half ago. But, I dont see any help from it yet, in fact, I think my face is growing even more. What do I do, should I get another rhinoplasty, the trauma seems to get rid of the collagen?
